Our desire to adopt stems from a mutual desire placed in our hearts, we believe by God.This is something that we have discussed at various times both prior to and throughout our married years.We have two of our own biological children, Jaiden, 7 and Levi, 4 and due to some genetic issues; we were cautioned against having any more children biologically. We feel our family at this time is not complete and consider it an honor and privilege to have adoption as a means by which to add to our family.

Guest Post: $36 Drive to Peru

UPDATE- As of Sunday evening, November 3rd at 7PM, we've raised $3047! Thank you to all who've given, prayed & shared our blog.

Hey Everyone!!

My name is Niki Fairchild and I have hijacked the Walterhouses blog to share something very near and dear to my heart.

I'm going to go on and jump right in... Here's
what's going on- As many of you know, my sweet friends Jonathan and
Michelle Walterhouse have been working towards adopting a very precious
girl (who is deaf, and was abandoned in the hospital at 11 months old
when her parents found this out) from the country of Peru. They
have been working on this now for 3 years, (36 months)- and are now at
the very final hurdle of purchasing the costly plane tickets to bring
their daughter to her forever home. This will cost approximately $3,600.
Simply put, they need your help and I'm asking you to please pray and
see if God would want you to give. This family was vital in helping me
get out of a bad place in my life and have continued to be a source of
godly wisdom, advice, support, love and friendship. I am forever
grateful for their friendship and count them and their two little boys
as my own family. I would love nothing more than to see their family
complete. As many of you know this family has been cautioned not to have
any more biological children due to some genetic disorders. Yet they
know their family is not quite complete, their daughter is still in
Peru..

If we can find 100 people, that's it...just 1-0-0 people between now and Sunday, 10/20
at midnight- that would ensure they can purchase the tickets and travel
around mid-November. Then, they an have their princess home for
Christmas and their whole family together under one roof- what a
present. Celebrating an orphan being found, and NO LONGER being orphaned
during the season in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who
came to ADOPT us- don't you want to be a part of that? Just $36, and
then share this with your friends and ask for ONE donation... we only
need 100 people to make this happen. Their goal is to be able to purchase
tickets by Tuesday 10/22. Thank you!
